1993 PORSCHE 968 CLUB SPORT

KEY FACTS

• A superb example of the coveted lightweight sports car, presented in impressive overall condition.
• Under the bonnet is the all-aluminium 3.0-litre inline-four, which produces 237bhp and drives the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.
• It benefits from recent maintenance with a Porsche specialist in July 2021, including a new clutch master cylinder.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• First introduced in December 1992, the lightweight 968 Club Sport was optimised for the track, doing away with the rear seats, air conditioning system and electric windows found in the ‘full fat’ 968.
• Finished in the ever-popular hue of Guards Red over a black interior, this example still features its original and sought-after Recaro bucket seats with colour-coded backs.
• It rides on the correct set of 17-inch ‘Cup’ alloy wheels, which are finished in black and are in great shape.
• A more modern Sony radio/CD player has been fitted, but the car is otherwise completely standard.
• This Club Sport will be accompanied by its original handbooks, stamped service book and full tool kit, as well as a number of invoices detailing its past maintenance.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• It is not known whether the Guards Red paintwork has previously been resprayed, but it is in excellent overall condition, with no major blemishes and only slight fading on the rear spoiler.
• Furthermore, the exterior trim presents very well, and while the ‘Club Sport’ decals on the car’s flanks are deteriorating slightly, this is in line with the car’s age.
• The cabin is in superb order, and there is no significant wear on the black fabric-covered seats or the interior trim items.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults with the vehicle.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 1 December 2020 at 73,770 miles, resulting in a clean, first-time pass.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This 968 Club Sport’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in July 2021 at 73,798 miles by Porsche specialist Goss Hall classics, who changed the engine oil and oil filter, as well as the clutch master cylinder and clutch fluid.
• The car was previously off the road for around six years, so prior to this, Specialist Cars of Malton changed the engine oil and filter in August 2014 at 73,660 miles, and Porsche main dealer Williams Crawford also renewed the filters and fluids in January 2014 at 72,349 miles.
• The cam belt was last replaced at 60,372 miles by marque specialist Nelsons Porsche.
